i'm told a local store is selling, victoria plum trees, hardy pear trees
and beurre stella cherry trees. since our garden is so tiny, we only at
the moment really have room for two out of the three of these trees.

which two would you experts choose, from the point of view of getting most
fruit from them?

i'm a novice so its best to be the ones that are easily looked after. If
any could cope with being in a large flower pot then i could get more than
just the two, so which please would cope best with being in a pot. Many
thanks for advice.


In my limited experience and my husband's far more extensive experience,
birds always get to the cherries the day you think "those will be ready to
pick tomorrow"! I don't think any of these would be happy in pots but I
don't know if the dwarf types might be.
